And now for the complete set!

Hmm... I noticed that several others had posted their
entries for Larry F's 100th Newsletter fic contest,
so I figure that I might as well do that, too.

And if you hadn't, others would have asked you to ^_^

The Newsletter this time contains the listing of
several authors' favorite fanfics as well as the
small contest.

Larry's newsletter itself is on the florestica site.
The URL is:
http://www.rakhal.com/florestica/newsletter.htm

My fanfic material is, as always, available at:
http://www.rakhal.com/florestica/ben-oliver/index.html

My NETTG webcomic's still at:
http://nettg.simud.org

And so, without further ado, the spamfic!

Yay!

  Nosferatu, the occult powers, and aliens.... I'd heard
and read about them all, but I had thought they were just
things from ghost stories, meant to scare us. But now I
know that they must exist.

Around here I realized who it was.

  A dear friend of mine is under their control. Somehow,
she succumbed to their wiles and became their slave. To
most people, she appears to act normal, but when I look
into her eyes, all I can see is emptiness. She moves and
speaks with an intelligence that is not her own.

It would explain a lot about Tomo ^_^

  I have dreamt--or perhaps better said, seen in visions--
how they are manipulating her. They sit upon her head,
visible yet hidden, demanding her total obedience and
forcing their dark power to course through her veins.

Ah, so it's those plush cats of Sakaki's ^_^

Indeed, under their influence, I have even seen her fly.
Who knows what else she may be capable of?

Forcing people to be under her command when wearing her special power suit
(aka penguin costume).

  If there's one thing about aliens, ghosts, or whatever
force binds her, there is almost certainly a wicked plot
behind it, the scale of which I can only begin to fathom.

You know, it's never something simple like maybe a vacation....

If someone as bright as her can fall to them, how much
longer will it be before others follow? If an invasion
or infestation is what they have in mind, we may not have
much time left.

I'm suddenly wondering how Osaka would've reacted if the class had decided
to go with the 'Chiyo-chan Show' idea.

  Saving her may not be easy. That which throttles her
psyche may decide to fight back, possibly killing her or
me in the process. Still, I believe that they can be
removed. It may have been in a vision, but I saw it done.

Well, in her visions, a slight tug would cause them to come off.

They cannot both be dealt with at the same time, at risk
of harming my poor friend. But was it the one on the
right, or on the left, which must be taken care of first?

  Curse my memory! I fear that if this goes on much longer,
there will be nothing left I can do for her, but if I act
improperly, the outcome may be the same.

Osaka: (Screaming in frustration) I can't decide!

(She pulls off both at the same time.)

Chiyo: (In a voice that sounds nothing like hers) We're sorry, but that was
the incorrect method.

(Suddenly the world blows up.)

  And yet, I must remember that humanity is at stake if
the twin demons get loose and infect others. My home, my
family, my friends... all could be lost if I sit back and
do nothing!

  Those two monsters have to be stopped.

  And I have to stop them.

    --An excerpt from the diaries of Kasuga Ayumu

-------------------------------------------

  "Osaka-san, quit tugging on my ponytails!"

I thought they were pigtails?

  "Oh no, this is worse than I thought! They're stuck!"

  "What's stuck?!"

Oh dear....

  "I'm sorry, Chiyo-chan! But, for the sake of the human
race, it has to be done!"

This isn't going to be good.

  "Hey, what are you doing with those scissors--AAAH!"

  *SCHHNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP!* *SCHNIIIIIP!*

  "OSAKA-SAAAAAN!!!"

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

  "This is very bad. Their eggs are gone but so are they!
They must have hidden inside your head now! Don't worry.
I'll get them out for you!"

'worry, I'll' - I think.

  "AAAAAH!"

*Ginrai tries picturing a bald Chiyo-chan and shudders*

Of course it could be worse if Osaka then thinks that her bald head *is* the
egg.

^_^ Fin... Or was that Flipper? I can never remember. ^_^


It had to be a short story, otherwise, I'd have shown the
bits where the ponytails start taking over the entire
school and where the Chiyo-pods are maturing. :D

Oh, of course! ^_^

And Osaka's not delusional! She's just... better prepared
than the rest of 'em.

Heh, well she is special....

A very funny fic (though I'll once again mention that a bald Chiyo-chan is a
very disturbing image).  Well done!
